Week 7 picks are in and Rams fans should be really concerned. Or extremely relieved.
After nailing the Raiders over the Bears two weeks ago and getting a noser on the final score of Texans-Chiefs, this week's "upset special" is Falcons over Rams.
Guaranteed. Maybe.
The Rams have lost three straight. A fourth straight stubbed toe could be the 3-4 start the reigning NFC champs and offensive wunderkind Sean McVay can't return from.
So, buh-bye, L.A. Then again, it could be buh-bye, upset special winning streak.
Houston wasn't the only underdog to win in Week 6. Also pulling upsets were the Saints, 49ers, Cardinals, Jets and Steelers.
This week, six home teams are underdogs. Three of them are at least 9 1/2-point dogs. The Redskins and Jets are 9 1/2-point underdogs against the 49ers and Patriots, respectively. And, of course, Miami is once again a massive home underdog (17 points) in a game against the Bills.
The firm, educated, well-thought-out stab in the dark here is to take four underdogs to win.
